Gosh... favorite book of all time? I'd be inclined to say The Bread Baker's Apprentice or the $64 Tomato, just for their life changing abilities on me... but the book I can read again and again is Lord of the Flies.

One of my favorite books is "Way of the Peaceful Warrior, " by Dan Millman, which I read a couple years ago and have just pulled out to read again. This book was recommended to me by a very smart and dear friend and got me through a very troubling time in my life. The movie however, I must stay, stunk. So don't judge the book by watching the movie. :)

Oh, that is such a hard question. I could easily do a top ten list-but favorite? I think I would have to go with The Lord of the Rings (Fellowship of the Ring), if I can just pick one, lol. That trilogy has been with me since I was a teen, and I still have it handy to read every so often.

Eat, Pray, Love would be my favorite book. I felt she was brave enough to leave the comfort of her world to travel and find true happiness. Also, I love reading your blog; I think I came across it off of your FB page.

For me a tie between "The Air Conditioned Nightmare" by Henry Miller or "Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year" by Anne Lamott. I guess one represents my "before child" life and the other my "post child" life.
